Tell me again how the Packers have faith in Ty Montgomery.

[Rutnstrut]

Sure looks like faith when they draft 3 RB's.

[pbmax]

Or less faith in the backups.

Last time they needed a starter, they took one late in round 2. This time their first RB was late Round 4.

Mike McCarthy: Ty Montgomery is our starting running back.

[Brandon494]

We have no one behind him though

They know they will NEED the back ups as Monty is not able to handle it full time.

[texaspackerbacker]

If anything this shows lack of faith in Christine Michael as a backup and/or John Crockett. 3 low round picks are not a threat to Montgomery.

If this is a pass first team, as it damn well better be, Montgomery won't be carrying all that big a load.

C'mon, this is just whistling past the graveyard. How many RBs are a go for 16 games?

He won't even make it to the bye without missing time.

[Deputy Nutz]

That may be true but I would bet very few running backs make it to the midway point of the season healthy

I didn't say healthy, I said missing playing time.

So you expected Green Bay to go into training camp with Ty Montgomery as basically the only RB on the entire roster?

We had to replace Starks and Lacy just from the 53 man roster...let alone the 3-4 other kids we'd bring in for camp. Only a complete idiot would suggest taking 3 RBs in the latter half of the draft is a sign that Green Bay has no faith in Ty.

Yeah, because they have never went understaffed at RB, oh wait...

So you are saying it is crazy to be understaffed...but the Packers have no faith in anyone on the roster since they actually drafted a few guys.

Perhaps they just learned a lesson last year and didn't want a repeat? You are reading way too much into this.

I very well could be, and I really hope they did learn from last year. I don't think TT would ever admit last year was a screw up, but oh well.

[gbgary]

the lack of rb depth was ridiculous last season. it's fixed now. we won't keep 7 (or 8...whatever it is) so look for a few to go away (michael + +).
